In botanical terms it is considered a legume, which is a fruit. In culinary terms it is considered to be a plant cultivated for an edible part, therefore a vegetable.
Botanically speaking, it is a fruit, since the seeds are contained within a pod, even though that pod develops underground. Peanuts are somewhat unique within the legume family due to their geocarpy (fruit develops underground).
a peanut is a vegetable cause of the way it grows and what not, but to everyone who's saying its just a nut or its a fruit your wrong!

What is a protein for vegetarians?
okay i will start by saying that I'm a 14 year old female. i have been a vegetarian for 6 years come this thanksgiving. i find that if its protein your looking for then peanut butter has it. nearly all nuts contain protein. if your feeling like you're not getting enough then why not try to eat a quick spoon of peanut butter or maybe a peanut butter sandwich? or have a small handful of nuts in some vanilla yogurt for breakfast. (this is considering that you're a vegetarian and not a vegan). hope this helps :) .
